Preface
This product is in conformity with the protection requirements of EU
Council Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the
Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility.
IBM cannot accept responsibility for any failure to satisfy the protection
requirements resulting from a non-recommended modification of the
product, including the fitting of non-IBM option cards.
This product had been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class
B Information Technology Equipment according to CISPR 22/European
Standards EN 55022. The limits for Class B equipment were derived for
typical environments to provide reasonable protection against interference
with licensed communication devices.
StatementofLimitedWarranty
The warranties provided by IBM in this statement of Limited Warranty apply
only to Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale,
from IBM or an IBM authorized reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM
machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or
any combination of them. Machines are subject to these terms only if
purchased in the United States, or Puerto Rico, or Canada, and located in
the country of purchase. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your
reseller.
Machine: IBM InfoWindow II 3151
WarrantyPeriod*: Three Years
*Elements and accessories are warranted for three
months. Contact your place of purchase for warranty
service information.
ProductStatus
Each machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable
used parts (which perform like new parts). In some cases, the machine may
not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the
Machine’s production status, IBM’s warranty terms apply.
Preface
viii
IBMWarranty
IBM warrants that each machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
worksmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications.
IBM calculates the expiration of the warranty period from the machine’s
date of installation. The date on your receipt is the date of installation,
unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller will provide warranty
service under the type of service designated for the machine and will
manage and install engineering changes that apply to the machine. IBM or
your reseller will specify the type of service.
For a feature, conversion, or upgrade, IBM or your reseller may require that
the machine on which it is installed be 1) the designated, serial-numbered
machine and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the features,
conversion or upgrade. Some of these transactions (called “Net-Priced”
transactions) may include additional parts and associated replacement
parts that are provided on an exchange basis. All removed parts become
the property of IBM and must be returned to IBM.
Replacement parts assume the remaining warranty of the parts they
replace.
If a machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period,
IBM or your reseller will repair or replace it (with a machine that is at least
functionally equivalent) without charge. If IBM or your reseller is unable to
do so, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be
refunded.
If you transfer a machine to another user, warranty service is available to
that user for the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your
proof of purhcase and this statement to that user.
WarrantyService
To obtain warranty service for the machine, you should contact your reseller
or call IBM. In the United States, call IBM at
1-900-IBM-SERV(426-7378) In Canada, call IBM at 1-800-465-6666. You may be
required to present proof of purchase.
Depending on the machine, the service may be 1) a “Repair” service at your
location (called “On-site”) or at one of IBM’s or a reseller’s service locations
(called “Carry-in”) or 2) an “Exchange” service, either On-site or Carry-in.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a machine or part, the item
IBM or your reseller replace becomes its property and the replacement
becomes yours. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good
working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced.
It is your responsibility to:
ix
1. Obtain authorization from the owner (for example, your lessor) to have
IBM or your reseller service a machine that you do not own;
2. Where applicable, before service is provided ---
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service
request procedures that IBM or your reseller provide,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a machine,
c. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a machines location, and
d. for a machine with exchange service, remove all features, parts,
options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
Also, the machine must be free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its exchange; and
3. Be responsible for lose of, or damage to, a machine in transit when you
are responsible for the transportation charges.
ExtentofWarranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of machine.
Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product
for which IBM is not responsible may void the warranties.
Preface
x
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. HOWEVER, SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF
IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES
APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
LimitationofLiability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part
(including fundamental breach) or other liability (including negligence and
misrepresentation), you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each
such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim
damages, IBM is liable only for:
1. bodily injury (including death), and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual loss or damage, up to the greater of
$100,000 or the charge for the machine that is the subject of the claim.
Under no circumstances is IBM liable for any of the following:
1. third-party claims against you for losses or damages (other than those
under the first item listed above);
2. loss of, or damage to, your records or data; or
3. economic consequential damages (including lost profits or savings) or
incidental damages, even if IBM is informed of their possibility.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation or incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other
rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
